Hello! Thank you for great work. We have few heavy loaded LVS system with a lot of connections. I'll test patch as soon as possible.

[...] I took Simon's patch and made an attempt to forward-port onto 2.6 and latest 3.0.x (working mainly with "ipvs-next" and "net-next" trees): https://github.com/kwilczynski/miscellaneous/blob/master/ipvs-thundering-herd-2.6.patch https://github.com/kwilczynski/miscellaneous/blob/master/ipvs-thundering-herd-3.0.patch Making sure that it holds water in my test environment / set-up. Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to test this under a real life load and/or in a network / system that was suffering from the problem that this patch is trying to address. I other words, my notebook solely is not enough to see real benefit of the slow-start introduced by the patch, since it will reach limit of its capacity long before I am able to create enough congestion to spot the difference in a statistically significant manner. Therefore, would you help me Aleksey and test it for me? :-) I am asking for your assistance, since you requested the forward-port in the first place, therefore you are probably the person whom will benefit from it the most. Hopefully, everything will work as it says on the tin, and if so, then we can start working on merging this with upstream kernel and exposing ability to toggle this functionality on-demand via /proc and/or /sys entries per algorithm. Thanks for help in advance! :) KW _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to lvs-users-requ...@linuxvirtualserver.org or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
